-5- 1 The property owner said a real estate agent had a developer. who might be inter- 2 ested in buying both parcels after the upper parcel is clear and free and the 3 access road which would assure a marketable title has been provided. Mr. Theisse 4 indicated he had no specifics on how the newly created lot would be developed 5 but he said he was certain there wou.ld be enough- room for a triplex to match the 6 one on the property next to his . Under questioning, Mr. Theisse indicated he 7 would be refinancing the lower developed portion once the upper lot is split off. 8 He said he was certain that even with the removal of the 26 feet for the access 9 road and a couple of feet on the rear of. the developed portion to provide the 10 required 14,500 square feet for the upper portion, the remaining lot would still 11 meet all City requirements for lot size and setbacks. Mr. Childs commented that 12 Mr. Theisse could build another three unit building behind the existing house 13 with the same driveway access without splitting the lot at all . '14 15 When Commissioner Werenicz questioned how the property owner was going to report 16 what he had learned that evening -to the prospective developer if he had no com- 17 munication with him, Mr. Theisse said he considered his job was only to get the 18 property split so he could go back to the developer with an unencumbered parcel 19 to sell . 20 21 Commissioner Jones told Mr. Theisse the project he was suggesting sounded like it 22 would be a vast improvement of that property, but the Commission perceived they 23 needed more specifics on how the whole property would be developed to assess its 24 potential impact on the neighborhood. Commissioner Madden said he had a real 25 concern about the current appearance of the property with old cars parked all 26 over the lot. He also asked whether consideration had been given to providing • 27 an,-;access off 39th Avenue rather than the "extremely heavily traveled Foss" .. 28 29 Commissioner Bowerman told Mr. Theisse his was a highly unusual proposal which 30 might establish a precedent the City might find hard to live with in the future 31 and he perceived the Commission needed more than a nebulous concept to act on. 32 Commissioner Wagner advised the property owner to 'look for a way to come up with 33 a firm, specific proposal on which the Commission could make a definitive answer. 34 He said he would personally be against establishing a separate lot on the upper 35 portion of the property but believed he could .look favorably upon the property 36 being developed as an entity. The Commissioner also said to approve the split. 37 might leave the City liable- for improper maintenance, etc. 38 } 39 Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Werenicz to adjourn the 40 Planning Commission meeting at 8:45 P.M. .I 41 42 Motion carried unanimously. 43 44 Respectfully submitted, 45 46 Helen Crowe, Secretary 47 t 48 49 50 51 i 52 � 53 . 54 55
